A few driveways, patios, and repairs we've poured recently.
Every job below is one we do ourselves across San Angelo.
We pour driveways four to six inches thick depending on what's parked on them, with rebar or mesh set before the pour, not after. Forms get set level and joints are cut early so the driveway cracks where we tell it to instead of wherever the base shifts.
A patio slab needs to slope away from the house, usually a quarter inch per foot, or you'll be dealing with water at your back door after every storm. We broom, trowel, or stamp the finish depending on what you want it to look like.
Stamped concrete gets you the pattern of flagstone, brick, or slate without individual pavers to relevel every few years. We color and seal it the same week it's poured so the texture and tone hold up instead of fading out in the first summer.
Cracked, spalling, or chipped concrete usually means water got underneath it or the base settled unevenly. We cut out the bad section and tie new concrete into the old with rebar or epoxy dowels instead of just skimming a patch over the top.
A slab foundation lives or dies on the base under it, so we grade, compact, and vapor-barrier before rebar ever goes down. Getting this step wrong is why some slabs crack straight through within the first year.
Sidewalks take a lot of foot traffic and freeze-thaw movement, even in West Texas, so we joint them every four to six feet to control cracking. We can match an existing walkway's finish or start fresh with a new one.
Steps and porch slabs get formed and poured to code rise and run, which matters more than people think until someone trips on an inch that's off. We reinforce these the same way we would a slab, since they take weight at the edges more than in the middle.
An overlay resurfaces a worn or discolored slab without tearing it out, usually a quarter to half inch of new material bonded to the old. It's a way to get a new look on a driveway or patio that's still structurally sound underneath.
When a slab sinks on one side, we can often raise it back level by pumping a fill material underneath instead of demolishing and repouring. This works for sunken driveways, sidewalks, and porch slabs where the concrete itself is still solid.
We pour parking pads, pads for storage buildings, and small commercial lots the same way we pour residential work, with base compaction checked before concrete goes down. Thickness and reinforcement get sized to what's actually going to drive or sit on it.
Four steps, and no surprises in any of them.
You tell us what you want doing, we look at what is actually there, and we ask the awkward questions early.
In writing, itemised, free. If something might add cost later we flag it now rather than at the end.
Same crew throughout. We cover your floors, keep the dust down and tidy up before we leave each day.
You point out anything you are not happy with and we fix it before the invoice, not after.
